the machine stops

wow, my computer totally bit the dust today. i don't know if it can be repaired or what, but in the meantime, i'm managing. just popped into the main house to check my boxes and whatnot. i hate not being 'plugged in.' oh well, it comes with the game. i must send a huge thanks to my good friend linda... who brought me a radio, so i can play mix tapes and cds and the radio until i get a system up and running. so, to convey my pouting mood, here's a gorgeous collage jean-lucien made some time ago. it stars the pouting and fantastic miss sylvie vartan. dig it. i hope to have more soon. love.

devil in the details

here is a cleverly-cut detail my mate jean-lucien sliced from one of his larger works. it underscores his genius, because even though only a sliver of the original piece, its a sound work of art on its own. of course, he's one of the best 'cutters' i've ever seen. whether editing film, shooting stills, or scissoring paper, jean-lucien is not unlike a surgical shakespeare. it is no exaggeration when i boast that if i were ever shot, i would not only trust him to remove the slug, but to stitch me up afterwards as well. he's my hawkeye. i love him.
